InterSystems Health Connect
A modern integration platform built to scale, evolve, and support healthcare’s data future
Healthcare organizations rely on integration engines to keep clinical, financial, and operational systems connected. Infor Cloverleaf has long been a familiar name in this space, with a large installed base and a reputation for stability. However, as healthcare organizations move toward cloud architectures, FHIR-based interoperability, and data-driven applications, many are finding the limitations of legacy integration platforms increasingly difficult to work around.
InterSystems Health Connect™ was designed for this next phase of healthcare interoperability. It combines a proven integration engine with the scalability, data management, data quality tools and FHIR capabilities of the InterSystems data platform, enabling organizations to handle today’s interface workloads while preparing for tomorrow’s use cases.
InterSystems Health Connect vs Infor Cloverleaf
Capability | InterSystems Health Connect | Infor Cloverleaf |
| Scalability & performance | High. Built on InterSystems IRIS, designed to sustain high message volumes and complex routing with predictable performance and uptime | Medium. Can scale, but often requires specialized command-line expertise and becomes harder to manage as complexity grows |
| Cloud readiness | Designed for on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployments with consistent tooling and operational models | Available in cloud, but customers report reduced flexibility and loss of low-level control compared to on-premises |
| FHIR support | Strong. Full FHIR stack including repository, server, and out of the box transformation | Moderate. FHIR server available, but lacks breadth and depth of FHIR-native capabilities |
| Pricing model | Predictable and economical at enterprise scale. Health Connect Cloud offers true consumption-based pricing | Often associated with legacy licensing and variable costs. Cloud models frequently introduce additional service fees |
| Path to advanced use cases | Native path from integration engine to full data platform using the same underlying technology | Advanced use cases typically require additional products or external platforms |
A Safe, Easy Transition
InterSystems provides a dedicated migration and conversion tool to simplify Cloverleaf migrations and reduce risk.
- Automates key migration tasks to speed up the transition while preserving existing logic.
- Generates clear migration outputs and validation artifacts to support testing and review.
- Minimizes manual effort and enables a predictable, low-risk migration path.

Integration Across the Delivery Network (IDN)
The developers at this large U.S. integrated delivery network (IDN) have no patience for integration engines that mindlessly do one job and one job only. Since replacing an old engine with InterSystems integration technology over a decade ago, the IDN has seen InterSystems solutions solve multiple problems to power growth, save employee time, and reduce costs. In one project alone, InterSystems saved them $100,000. Other examples of benefits delivered using InterSystems integration technology include:
